Blackmagic Camera

Blackmagic launched its camera app for Android at the end of June this year. The first post-launch update to the app makes it even more robust. Pixel 6, Pixel 6a, and Pixel 6 Pro will be able to use it alongside the Galaxy S21 and S22 series smartphones.

At present, the Blackmagic Camera app is free to download on Google Play. Despite being a free camera app, it brings pro-level video recording capabilities including more codecs, enhanced metadata, plus direct integration with the Davinci Resolve editing suite.

Google Keep ditches bottom bar for a sleek new floating button

Google Keep floating button

Google is rolling out a new look for its Google Keep app via a new update. The fresh design replaces the old bottom bar with a new floating action button (FAB) to make the Google Keep app look cleaner and easier to use.

Previously, Google Keep had a bottom bar that included options to create lists, drawings, audio notes, and photos, as well as a button to add a new note.

With the new design, this bottom bar is gone (via 9to5Google). Instead, the FAB, located in the bottom right corner of the screen, now includes all the bottom bar tasks. It uses pill-shaped buttons for each option to give the app a more modern, amazing look.

When you tap the Floating button of Google Keep, a menu appears with options to create a new note, list, drawing, or photo. Notably, one missing feature is the ability to create an audio note, which was available in the old bar.

The new look provides a less cluttered look to the app and space on the screen for your notes. It also helps to focus on the content without too many buttons taking up space.

But now, adding a new note, list, drawing, or photo requires an extra step. Before you could just tap the bottom bar to do it right away.

The update is available for Android users with Google Keep version 5.24.432.x. However, there’s no word yet on when it will expand.

WhatsApp first teased this theme customization feature in earlier beta version 2.24.18.6, where users saw hints of new color options. Since then, WhatsApp has been enhancing the feature, including adjustments to the logo and other elements of the design.

This new feature is still under development and is expected to be available with upcoming beta updates. If you’re testing the WhatsApp Beta, you may get access to the feature earlier than others. Keep an eye on future updates to see when the new theme customization option will be available to all users.
